Oct. 24: Why isn’t La Russa screaming?

If you are the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, how come you aren’t screaming today? If you think Kenny Rogers cheated, then you go after him and try to get him thrown out of the game, or put the game under protest, or do something. You don’t become a wimp.

Remember the line in The Sting where Robert Shaw said something like, “I can’t call them for cheating better than me.’’

I’m sure just about every Cardinals pitchers wish this thing would just go away, lest ESPN, SI and others start scouring footage of every one of their previous games to see what’s under their caps, gloves and on their hands, not to mention what their catchers do to balls. It’s a can of worms that Larussa should never have opened.

I don’t know where you got the idea I think Selig cares about the integrity of the game. Afterall, this is the guy who killed the World Series in 1994 and brought us replacement players.

He also brought us the unbalanced schedule and interleague play, which creates an unfair path through the season. Think about it for a minute. Every team should have to run the same course to reach the postseason. If they don’t, it isn’t fair. Bottom line, interleague play and the unbalanced schedule compromises the integrity of the regular season.
